The Protestant Episcopal Convention OF the
Diocese or Maryland, at Baltimore, adjourned
yesterday afternoon. The report OF the committee
on the state OF the churches was made by Rev.
John l. Lindsay, OF West Washington IL stated
that there was an increase In all the lines OF work.
In Virginia, at Petersburg, is a well-orgsnized
school and theological seminary for colored people
and In that State are over 5000 colored commune
cants and more than thirty places OF worship for
those people. In Maryland we have eight places
OF worship and l. 1913 communicates. wehave adj
vantages here for the work. and there is not that
fear OF close contact with the people. We see a
great lack OF endowments from which means may
be drawn Tor church purposes. We have no acade-
my or theological seminary, and but one girls
school and one boys school, Is IL strange that our
Children go to Romish or secular schools. We have
few hospitals, and but one institution FOR fallen

THE BISHOPS CLOSING WORDS.
1t was decided that the convention would meet
at st. Peters church, Baltimore, next year, and
Bishop Paret delivered a brief address OF farewell.
He said: 81 doubt whether any among you can

we separate, as We do, with little reason for
unpleasan!ness I am also thankful dreaded

questions touching those mightier interests are

Even in our own affairs We have been obliged TO
act hastily, SO that sometimes IL may have seemed

sharply. am sure no one Will go away feeling
that way. Apology was made two or three times
for seeming d1srespect, but had not regarded
them as such. We Will not meet here again. The
lalty and clergy change from year TO year, and IL
is too much TO hope that all Will be IN this world
at that time. May this thought make Us tender

The old red brick building at the intersection OF
street with Louisiana avenue, which has been oc-
cupied for so many years by the Bank OF Washing
ton is one of the most familiar landmarks In that
section or the city. 1t has stood there while many
changes have gone on all around 1t, and while the
struggling unpaved streets OF country village
have become the handsome thoroughfares OF a
modern city. Buildings In its vicinity have betn
erected, have become worn out and have given
place to more modern structures but the old build
Ing Of the Bank OF Washington has remained. For
years 1t has been the depository OF many OF the
merchants and citizens In that vicinity, and It
old-fashioned interior is familiar TO the boyhoOd OF
the old residents There are now going to be some
changes made in the interior, which which Will
give better facilities for the business The Central
National Bank which has occupied portion OF the
front Of the building, has purchased the st. Marc
Hotel building, which stands just across street
with front on Pennsylvania avenue; 1T is the
intention to remodel and Mt up the FIRST floor OF
the st. Marc building for the use OF the bank and
rent out the upper nOors- The improvement will
be q very handsome one and viii be OF great bene-
ut to that locality. As soon as the Central
National people have vacated their present
quarters, the Bank OF washington Will remodel the
first floor and use the entire 7Jh street front for
banking room. The rear space, with a frontage on
Louisiana avenue, Will be used for stores

TILE POLITICAL CLOID.

The application of the Labor lead
ers in New York city to have a repre-
sentative of their party upon the
boards of election officers indicates a
purpose on their part to participate
in future elections as a separate or
~ganization. How far they represent
the $4,000 voters who supported
Henry George for Mayor-more
votes than the Republican candidate
received-cannot be definitely known.
But if the movement is to take a per-
manent form, in these broader fields,
the fact is one of importance.
The old party leaders are going
ahead with the plans for 1888 as
though nothing had happened. Yet
something did happen to the Repr'
lican party when first 1",0oO and
then 20, 900 and tho- $4,000 citizens
of New York- .oted the Prohibition
ticket And something did happen
to the Democratic party when 6S, 200
voters supported a Labor candidate
for Mayor in that city last fall.
Something else is apt to happen if
this organization should extend
throughout the State.
Does the application for election
inspectors from the Labor party indi-
cate that the organization is to be
| made permanent and to extend?

BosroN, March 1.-THE most hor-
rible railroad accident that has &C.
cured in the vicinity of Boston since
the holocaust at Revere happened
this morning in tie West Roxbury
district. The Z a. ID. train on the
Boston aud Providence railroad
crashed through a highway bridge
over South street. The accident re-
suited, so far as learned at present,
in tho death of thirty-three persons
and the injury of forty more. The
fire department was on the cen al
most immediately and prevented ere
nation. Doctors and ambulances
were sent for in every direction and
their services we're put in execution
at one as the dead and wounded were
taken out. The train was in charge
Of Conductor Tilden, who met a ter
rible death. He was found on the
bank with one leg literally torn off,
his abdomen separated and bowels
protruding. He was also otherwise
badly mangled. He died a few mo-
ments after being found.
